DR. TALMAGE’S SERMON IS FULL

Gleaiitnt*-.
Washington, April 25.—The sermon
cf Dr. Talur.’.no which wo send out to
day could not have been prepared by
uuy cue not born in the country. It is
full of the breath of the fields. The text
is Ruth ii, 3, “And she went and came
and in the ehureh, and in the world,
that through darkness and storm and
trouble men, women, churches, nations,
are developed.
Faithful Friends.
Again, I see in my text the beauty of
unfaltering friendship. I suppose there
were plenty of friends for Naomi while
she was in prospi rity, hut of all her ac-
and gleaned in the field after the reap- quaiutanecs how many were willing to

trth.
Christ, hounded of p rseeutors, de
nied a pillow, worse maltreated than
tin* thieves on either side of the cross,
human hate smacking its lips in satis
faction after it had been draining its
so it is individually, and in the family, las*, drop of blood, the sheeted dead
ers, ai.d her bap was to light on a part
of the field belonging unto Boaz, who
was cf the kindred of Elimelech. ”
The time that Ruth and. Naomi ar
rive at Bi thlehem is harvest time. It
was the custom when a sheaf fell from
a load in the harvest field for the
reapers to refuse to gather it up. That
was to be left for the poor who might
happen to come along that way. If
there were handfuls of grain scattered
across the field after the main harvest
trudge off with her toward Judah, when
she had to make that lonely journey?
One—the heroine of my text. One—ab
solutely one. I suppose when Naomi’s
husband was living, and they had plen
ty of money, and all things went well,
they had a g»c.«t many callers, hut 1
suppose that after her husband died,
and her prop< rty went, and she got old
and poor, she was not troubled viry
much with callers. All the birds that
sung in the bower while the sun sheno
bursting from the sepulchers at his cm
rufixiou! T< 11 me, () (Hcthr unane and
Golgotha, were there over darker times
than those? Like the booming of the
midnight sea aga nst the rock, the
surges of Christ’s anguish beat against
the gates of eternity, to be echoed back
by all the thrones of heaven and all the
dungeons of hell. Er.t the day of re
ward conies for Christ. All the pomp
and dominion of this world are to he

to bow before him on whose head are

: possible in this world, where there is so
much suffering to be alleviated, so much
darkness to be enlightened and so many
burdens to bo carried, that there is any
person who emmet find anything to do?”
Mine, de Stud did a world of work in
her time, and one day, while she was
seated amid instruments of music, all
of which she had mastered, and amid
manuscript books which sho had writ
ten, some one said to her, “How do you
find time to attend to all these tilings?”
“Oh,” she replied, “these are not the
tilings 1 am proud of. My chief boast, is
in the fact, that I have 17 trades, by any
one of which I could make a livelihood
if necessary. ” And, if in secular spin res I

farmers do now, it was, by the custom has fallen.
cf the land, left in its place so that the
poor, coming along that way, might
glean it and get their bread. But, you
say, “What is the use of all these har
vest fields to Ituth and Naomi? Naomi
is too old and f< cblo to go out and toil
iu the sun, and can you expect that
Ruth, the young and the beautiful,
should tan her cheeks and blister her
bands in the harvest field?”
Boaa owns a large farm, and he goes
out to SCO the reapers gather in the
grain. Corning there, right behind the
swarthy, sun browned reapers', he be

Importance of Little- Thing;*.
Again, I learn from my subject that
events which seem to he most insignifi
cant may be momentous. Can you im
agine anything more unimportant than
the* coming eif a poor woman from Meath
gails, more Hannahs, more Rebeccas,
more Marys, more* Deborahs, consecrat
ed, body, mind, soul, to the Lord who
bought them.
Gle-anin;.
Once more I le arn from my subject
the value ejf gle aning.
Ruth going into that harvest field
might have said: “There is a straw,
and there is a straw, hut what is a
straw? I can't get any barlej* for my
self or my mother-in-law out e*f the se
separate straws.” Neit so saiel beautiful
Ruth. Sho gathered two straws, and
she put th« ui together, unel more
to Judah? Can you imagine anything straws, until she got enough to make a
more trivial than the: fact that this Ruth
just happened to alight—as they say—
just happened to alight on that field cf
Boaz? Yet all ages, all generations,
have* an interest in the fact that she*
was to hecorao an ancestress of the Lord
Je sus Christ, and all nations and king
doms must look at that one little iuci-
all the imputations rush on ! dent with a thrill cf unspeakable and
jreak down in a day that oternul satisfaction. So it is in your
she'af. Putting that down, she* *. t
and gathered mem* straws, until she had
another sheaf, and another, and anoth
er, and another, and then she brought
them together, and she threshed them
out, ami she had an ephah of barley,
nigh a bushel. Oh,that we might all be
gleaners!
